MONDAY, May 9.-Mr. Grant Billbe
closed successful singing school at
Pleasant Ridge Saturday night with
concert. He was assisted by the ALE
gro quartette of the State Normal at
Emporia, who, on their return to the
city, awakened 'sye local" from the
land of dreams and treated him to a
rendition of some of the popular airs
of the day, sang in the usual musical
to be appreciated. They were
accompanied by some of the Pleasant
boys on their return to the city. May
they call again.

their concert Saturday night to full
house, who are unanimous in the opin-

though the admission was placed at the
low price of ten cents the receipts must
have been in the neighborhood of S45
for the two concerts.
